the Town of Baspano gete its water

The question was brought up at 
the Wednesday meeting by Robt. 
McLean when he made a motion, 
seconded by A. McKee, that ‘the sec- 
retary be instructed % write to the 
City of Calgary protesting against 
their sewage dumping policy. A. T. 
Connolly, R. A, Travis, H. O. Bredin, 
H. G. Angell, Wm. McLaws, and 
othera spoke on the subject. 
Bredin said that at previous times 
the town council had endeavored to 
have thig trouble remedied. They 
had taken tip the matter with “the 
provincial health department. with 
the object of compelling Calgary _ to 
build a sewage disposal plant, but 
nothing had come of it.. Samples 
of water were taken at various times 
and sent to Edmonton for analysis, 
Testa showed the water to be free 
from disease germs, 

Mr. McLaws said i was not a 
question of whether the testa showed 
disease germs to be present or not. 
It was a question of Calgary dump- 
ing raw sewage into the river when 
they had no right to do so, according 
to the provincial health Jaws, 

Mr. Bredin said the council was 
now making further efforts in this 
matier with the health department 
at Edmonton. The motion passed. 

A motion was put by Geo. Travis 


$25 be made for the payment of 
Perry Johnston as life guard at the 


ground west of town, saying t 
rubbish\was dumped there and al- 


first strong west wind. The secretary 
was instructed to write the town 
overseer requesting that he devise 
wayg and means to prevent this 
nuisance, 

The question of holding a school 
fair in Bassano wag brought up for 
discussion. It was decided to appoint 
a committee to look into this matter. 

Twenty memberg attended the 
meeting, and they enjoyed the ex- 
cellent meal provided by the new 
management of the hotel dining 
room.

HERYFORD - BROS, HANDLE 
BIG OROP EXPEDITIOUSLY 


eee, . 

The two Heryford Bros. who farm 
about thirteen miles north-west of 
Bassano, in the Makepeace district, 
have almost finished threshing their 
wheat. Using a combine, they had 
cut and threshed 550 acres by Tues- 
day of this week, and were then 
working on their remaining 250 acres 
which they were handling by the 
straight combine method. About 240 
acres of their crop was cut with a 
swather. q 

A large acreage of the Heryford 
Bros. crop was sown on ground that 
Was not summer fallowed, and the 
stand of grain was not extra heavy, 
but even at that it averaged 35 bush- 
els to the acre. Their wheat graded 
No. 8.

During the past summer I motored 
through Idaho, Oregon, and Wasb-

some.2800 miles I met about half a 
dozen horse drawn vehicles and 
thousands upon thousands of cars.

What impressed me most on my 
auto tour wag the wonderful roads 
on the route. Yes, and the kindly 
hospitality of the people. Those 
states are really foreign country to 
‘Canadians, but the folks living there 
look upon Canucks as “kin,” They 
have a genuine admiration for the 
Dominion which does not tend to 
reduce the size of the visitors’ 
brims!

I travelled along historic highways 
—the old Oregon trail and the route 
ét Lewis and Clark in the first trip 
white men had ever taken across the 
American Rockies. From Lewiston 
and Clarkston I followed the path 
along the Snake river taken by those 
intrepid explorers and frontiersmen 
over one hundred years ago. The 
route is marked by appropriate sign 
boards. Here Lewis and Olark par- 
leyed with Indians; a little farther 


on they spent the winter, and‘so on.

137 years ago. The spot was located 
by Judge Howay, of New Westmin-

a stone from the ruing of the fire 
place which possibly Mackenzie's 
hands had helped to build.

I was quite interested in the bank- 
ing syetem of the United States. We 
Canadians know our banking system 
pretty well. We have the “chain 
bank” system with the “seats of the 
mighty” in the money centres, of 
Montreal or Toronto. The local 
banking system is the style in the 
States, augmented by the Federal 
Reserve banks. 

. . s 

Their banking ‘system has the 
weakness that the prosperity of the 
bank depends entirely upon the pros- 
perity of the immediate district, 
while in Canada calamitous con- 
ditions in one district hardly affects 
a bank, because the strength of more 
prosperous portions of the country 
bears it up. (For instance, several 
poor crop years in the Bassano dist- 
rict would probably result in the 
banks closing if the ‘local system 
Was in operation. 

*. * *& 

On the other hand when a local 
bank fails in the United States its 
loans are usually in the immediate 
district and the money has not been 
drained to far away points. When 
the home Bank failed in Canada at 
«he branch in Fernie there was over 
$500,000 on deposit and loans totalled 
about $60,000. The balance was in- 
vested in wild-cat enterprises in 
Memphis, Tennessess, in timber lim- 
its in British Columbia, and possibly 
in musk melon hemos’ in Tanganytke, 

-~_* 

Local banks take a greater in- 
terest and ‘give stronger assistance 
in local enterprise. Our system of 
banke fail in heaps Feopeot, 


My own ‘iedussdacey as to the com- 
parative systems are rather vague. 
While I like the solidarity of the 
Canadian banking system, still the 
United States has been built up on

‘Threshing is progressing raplaly,

The use of trucks for hauling 
wheat to. the elevators has greatly 
speeded up delivery, and contributed 
tothe filling up of the country grain 
houses so rapidly. The same story 
of plugged elevators comes from ‘all 
points in the neighborhood of Bas- 
sano. Some farmers from distant 
points have intimated their tntention 
of building granaries in town to 
store theif wheat until they can get 
cars to ship it out. 

‘Crops at Bassano are yielding 
heavily. Many fields are threshing 
40 and 45 bushels to the acre, and 
some will run over 60 bushels. It 
ig estimated that for the district the 
tverage will be more than 40 bushels 
but this figure is declared by some 
to be too high. 

Frost caused some damage to the 
wheat, and the grade has been low- 
ired on this account. Most of the 
grain so far delivered has graded 
No. 2 and 3, with some 4, and a 
little No. 1, 


‘Harvest hands are scarce even at 
he high wages which are being paid, 

It is difficult to estimate the am- 
yunt of threshing already completed, 
out probably more than 50 per cent 
of the wheat is now threshed. 
~ Old timers say the weather this 
fall ig the finest for threshing op- 
erations they ever experienced here.

Discussing the British miner-har-

said: 

“There is no doubt a very deter-}

among the harvesters. It is my 
impression that a considerable num- 
ber of the men will remain and get 
employment in Canada. 

“From east to west in Canada the 
British worker is preferred to any- 
body else, providing he is prepared 
to do the work Canada requires him 
to do.” 

He expressed the opinion that the 
problem of winter: work could easily 
be solved if some simple system of 
organization were brought into exist- 
ence. Statements that Canada does 
not welcome British workers, were 
untrue, he said. 

“After more than’twenty years ab-

revelation to me. 
“There is a vitality of expansion, a

has not got sufficient magnetic pow-

“The great magnet that is always

ing here, is sunk 60 miles below here, 

broken in the midddle by a huge 
ler. 

Since the palatial steamer left 
here September -10, loaded with 
freight for Vermilion Chutes and oth- 
er way points, navigation has been 
carried on under the most trying cir- 
cumstances, due to the extremely low 
stage of water. She was on her way 
upstream loaded with 60 head of cat- 
tle and several passengers when dis- 
aster overtook her. The cattle swam 
ashore and all aboard were rescued. 

The steamer Thomas was built by 
the late Baron Rhondda in the sum- 
mer of 1915, and was one of the fin- 

est on the island waters. The ma- 
terial for her construction was 
freighted in over the old Grouard 
trail by teams when the end of the

“Nurse Cavell in Belgium was hem

they be. cunning adventurers or 
heartless tyrants.—-The Christian. 

“The supernatural is the native air 
of Christianity, its cradle-song is that 
of angels, its death-chant the trium-

We are daily judging ourselves un-

LOWER RATES ON 
ELECTRIC CURRENT - 

People of Bassano will welcome the | 
reduction in the rates on electric cur-| 
tent. Commencing October Ist, con- 
yumers will be charged on the new 
‘ate basis, and the reduction will de 
~onsiderable for those who have been 
paying more than the minimum 
wmount each month. 

The Calgary Power took over the 
ocal light system <ome time ago, and 
the new owners have expanded the 
system until it now includes Standard 
Rockyford, Strathmore, Gleichen, 
and Arrowwood. 

The company has thus greatly in- 
creased the consumption of current 
in their system, ani with greater! 
consumption the cos: per kilowat of 
production is lessened. thus enabling 
the company to reduce the rate 
charged. 

Bassano has for years been paying 
a high rate for electric current. In 
the old days of the local steam plant 
the high rate Was necessary because 
of the heavy operating cost, but since 
the installation of the hydro the pro-| 
duction cost hag been greatly lessen-

BIG CROP ? 

As threShing of Aiberta’s bumper) 
1928 crop continues, farmers in all) $ 
parts of southern Alberta are faced 
with a new difficulty—that of shipp-| 
ing their grain. i 

Elevators at many points are now 
filled up, and cannot take any more 
wheat until they get the cars to ship 
it out to the termimal elevciors at 
Vancouver and the head of the Great 
Lakes. i 

Ideal threshing weather has pre- 
vailed since the beginning of the 
harvest season, and there has been 
practically no interuption from the 
work of threshing the wheat. Faiw-; 
ers everywhere have been pushirg 
the work at top speed, and a steady 
stream of golden grain has been flow- 
ing from the wheat fields to the 
country elevators. * 

The wheat bas been Coming in fas- 
ter than the elevators can procure 
cars to ship it out, amd the result is 
full grain houses and dissacisiied 
farmers who are anxious to ship their 
grain but cannot do so. 

Many farmers have motorized their 
grain hauling equipment, and now 
the wheat moves from the grain 
field to the elevator at five or six 
imes the speed of former years. 

Railway men claim they are delir- 
ering the grain to the terminals as 
fast as the terminals cam handle it. 
They say the troubl, is lack of capac- 
ity in the handling equipment at the 
terminals. The terminals can only 
take care of a certain mumber of cars 
of grain each day, and the railways 
claim they are delivering a capacity 
number of cars to thé terminals. This 
“auses a blockade back along the line 
co the country elevators. 

At any rate, the trouble is becom- 
ing acute, and relief of some sort 
would be hailed with joy by the

never derailed, but it is surprising 
that even part of it was forced from 
the tracks. What happened to the 
passengers of the charging autom6- 
biles is easy to reason out. 

In the same period over ten thou- 
sand railway crossing gates were 
smashed, while many automobiles 
were stalled on the tracks, and others 
were demolished by flying trains 
which were not derailed. 

Each year thousands of persons are 
killed and injured at railroad cross- 
ings—and practically every death 
could well be labeled “suicide,” for 
we recklessly persist in taking the 
American’s gambling chance. 

The only ways in which one may 
commit suicide at a crossing are by 
trying to beat the train, or paying no 
attention to what is coming along the 
track. The driver who obeys bells, 
warning lights and whistles, and ap- 
proaches a crossing with both eyes 
and ears at attention, is the driver 
who always has to notify the hospital 
of what happened to the other fel-

Eckhart guaranteed that the signa- 
ture of Mr, Stark as it came over 
the wire was genuine, and Vice-Prest- 
dent John Washburn, of the Con- 
tinental National Bank, approved the 
“photogram” of the original cheque 
so that it could be cashed. 

Although Mr, Eckhart believes that 
changes will have to be made in the 
laws regarding negotiable instru- 
ments fore such transmission of 
cheques will come into common use, 
he sees a great future for the sending 
of documents and autographs by the 
tele-phonegraphic process. 

“Of course, the signature is not 
the original one,” Mr. Washburn said, 
“but I believe a system will be work- 
ed out to make this method practica- 
ble, and when whoever receivés ne- 
gotiable paper guarantees the signa- 
ture as genuine there should be no 
trouble.” 

Mr. Eckhart received the cheque 
eleven minutes after a telegram from 
Mr. Stark was delivered to him tell- 
ing him that the cheque was on the 
way.

In a survey of Empire-grown tim-

attention is drawn to the possibilities 
of extending the use in Britain of 
Douglas firfrom British Columbia. 
The Southern Railway, it appears, 
has arranged to test Douglas fir sleep-

in Canada with a view to determining 
whether the objection to their use 
arises from unsuitable

Toad Takes Up Battle At Night 
When Birds Sleep 

Scientists at the’ Department of 
Agriculture, W: , report that 
the common “hop” toad, familiar to 
all country children, takes the night 
shift with birds in their constant war 
on insects. When the birds cease their 
daylight activtities the battle is tak- 
en up by their important ally. 

Urging farmers and others to pro- 
tect the toad and save him for the 
good he can and will do, the Biolo- 
gical Survey says: 

“An active interest in the conser- 
vation of toads must be taken if 
these useful animals are to escape 
extermination by the draining of 
their breeding places, by the burning 


of fields and wobds, and by other per- |. 


ils of their present-day environment.” 

The automobile and the city sys- 
tem take large tolls of toads, the de- 
partment points out. 


NO MEDICINE LIKE 
BABY’S OWN TABLETS 


For Either the Newborn Babe Or 
the Growing Child 


There is no other medicine to equal | 


Baby’s Own Tablets for little ones— 
whether it be for the newborn babe 
or the growing child the Tablets 
always do good. They are absolutely 
free from opiates or other harmful 
drugs and the mother can always feel 
safe in using them. 

Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John 
Armour, R.R. 1, South Monaghan, 
Ont., says:—‘‘We have three fine, 
healthy children, to whom, when a 
medicine is needed, we have given 
only Baby's Own Tablets. The Tab- 
lets are the best medicine you can 
keep in any home where there are 
young children.” 

Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but 
thorough laxative which regulate the 
stomach and bowels; banish constipa- 
tion and indigestion; break up colds 
and simple fever and make teething 
easy. They are sold by medicine 
dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents 
a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medi- 
cine Co,, Brockville, Ont.

Bears Well Behaved 
Have Better Manners Than . Any 
Other Wild Animal 

The epicurean bears have the best 
table manners of any wild animal, in 
the opinion of Scorehum Alarid, who 
presides at the nightly feasts served 
to bruins in the park at Yosemite, 
Cal. 

Scraps of food gathered from e@at- 
ing houses of the region are brought 
to a regular place, where bears Bre 
always waiting to be fed. 

“Each evening the hungry brine 
patiently wait until I have backed 
my truck containing - their food ‘to 
the platform and have set their ta- 
ble,” Alarid said. 

“When I émpty the scraps on the 
platform they take their places, They 
do not guzzle their food and are not 
in the least disturbed by the thou-

Airplane Saved Men 

A score of men without food and 
very little clothing, in a wild part of 
the Red Lake District, Manitoba, 
have been saved by airplane, which 
took emergency rations from Hud- 
son. The plight of the men was caus- 
ed by a forest fire which destroyed 
their cabins and supplies.

Days passed, and as late winter 
merged into spring there was a stir 
throughout the city. Men who had 
spent the winter in idleness were 
“going out” again. Loggers in their 
characteristic blanket shirts hanging 
loose outside their trousers, could be 
seen on all sides saying gnod- bye to 
their friends. 

One morning Donald counted. his 
rapidly dwindling cash and found 


that he would have barely enough to|_ 


tide him over the -week-end. 

With all his assets in the way of 
clothes and jewelry in a pawnshop, he 
could not stave off the inevitable, and 
there came a day when he had not 
even the price of a meal. Too proud 
to ask for a loan, he went without

At the logger’s employment agency 
he was told the same old story: “Only 
men of experience wanted. But,” the 
agent added hopefully, “men are go- 
ing to be scarce this summer, and 
they will be taking on everything be- 
fore long.”’ Donald made the rounds 
of the engineering firms where he had 
applied for a position, but without 
success. Force of habit led him back 
to “the employment agency, where he 
sank disconsolately to a bench,

entered briskly and approached the

“How about those two I sent you 
yesterday, Andy?” 

‘The one addressed as Andy made a 
gesture of disgust. “Those two

of ornamentation of the tooth body. 

In the tooth, this body which con- 
stitutes the main bulk of the tooth, 
is known as the dentine, 

Then is this all? No, for as in the! 
tree we have a pith or core, so in the) 
tooth we find a central chamber) 
known in the crown of the tooth, as 
the pulp chamber, and in the root, an} 


the root canal. 

~ But you have observed, too, hat | 
the enamel coverg only the exposeu 
portion of the tooth, or crown, 

root, then, is protected by a covering 
known as cementum, which attached | 
the myriads of fibre or ‘threads,’ 
that hold the tooth firmly in place 
in its socket. 

Nature, ever wise, has constituted 
the enamel the hardest substance in 
the human body, to better withstand 
the stress to which it is subjected. 
Also, enamel does not undergo the 
physiologic changes of dissolution | 
ond repair to the extent of any oth- 
er body tissues, hence the need of 
hardness as an effective barrier to 
injury and disease. 

In the dentine are minute tubules, 
or canals, containing soft tissue fila- 
ments through which communication 
is established from the outside of the 


tooth to the nerve tissue of the pulp; | 


and because of this honeycombed 
structure and, too, owing to dentine 
}being softer than enamel, it is less 
resistant to disease than is the lat- 
ter. 

So you can see hew important it is 
to keep intact the enamel which con- 
stitutes the outer defences of the 
tooth since disease processes, once 
penetrating the enamel barrier, can

Some nionths ago, a workman fell 
out of the fifteenth floor of a build- 
ing in course of construction in New 
York City. On the thirteenth floor 
he grabbed a rope hanging from a 
scaffold and swung himself in on 
the twelfth floor, saving his life. He 
afterwards confessed that he was as 
much astonished by his act as anyone 
who saw him. 

The explanation is that the fall of 
twenty or twenty-five feet before he 
grabbel the rope occupied about one 
second and a quarter, which was
